Well hello ya all.
first i would like to say, that we succesfully switched from a wind*s pdc 
to the samba 3 beta1 pdc.
it all looks to work fine.,
we use tdbsam as pasword back end..

the only worries i get is the fact that some how the local user groups 
(administrator, users, guest ect ect)
won't realy work.
i mapped them in the same way i did with the domain groups (and those work 
just fine)
but as soon as i use the windows user manager and select a local group, it 
gives an error in return.
(the same action with domain groups works fine)

second question i have is the password expire date, how can i set this up.
now every user has to change once in a while, and also the computer ($) 
account's have 1 30 day valite time
before expire..
(coz some workstations are win2k and other 98).

i viewed the user list with pbdedit and most of them were 30 days and a few 
were valite till 2038. ?!?
how do i change these dates ?
(didn't work from within the wind*s user manager)

well that's all what this happy samba user has to say...
